Search infrun.c for BPSTAT_WHAT_SET_LONGJMP_RESUME.

Sure.

I don't think it makes sense to be language-dependent here, because
then this makes mixed-language debugging harder.

I do wonder whether gdb will really be able to understand this function.
Does it make jmp_bufs compatible with the arch support already in gdb?
What about PC mangling?  What defines fpc_longjmp and why is it not just
a simple wrapper for the C library longjmp?
